In the boundless darkness, there is a sense of comfort and relaxation in finding a soul home, I lazily relax my body, just willing to do nothing like this, for a long time.

"Do you want to save the world?"

A dark voice asked

"What are you kidding, I'm not that alien pervert who wears underwear, nor is it an illegitimate son of God who has an SM direction or something, no matter how miserable the mess is, I have a plug-in that can come back from the dead"

I spat unceremoniously

"Do you want to change the world......

"I don't have enough to eat, a person goes to the mantis arm as a car for the whole historical torrent, that's not great, that's called not dying and not dying......"

"Don't you want to put this world in order and return it to peace......

The voice continued to ask with some reluctance

"If I want to daydream, I have to have the ability and ability......"

"Then do you want to be famous in this world for eternity?"

"I'm sorry, but I don't have a martyr plot that is so boring that I don't have a martyrdom plot, and I don't have a bitter saint fetish that will be remembered after death......"

"Then do you want to have endless power and wealth, stand at the top of this world, control the fate of many people, and laugh at the rise and fall of success and failure, and the clouds rise and fall......

"I'm not a god, I just know what I can do."

The voice, after a long silence, spoke again

"Then do you want to protect yourself, enjoy prosperity and prosperity for generations, and have a good future?"

"Of course...... Who wouldn't want that?"

"Then you can protect those who trust and support you, become their spiritual pillar and leader, and carry their sustenance and expectations forward,"

The voice paused, and seemed a little worried that I would refuse.

"And to make sure that they, and the people they love and care about, are not swallowed up by this troubled world, and do not have to worry about the fate of precariousness and displacement,...... Or the results of a lifetime of hard work and struggle, become the prey of other people's ****. ”

"Well, there can be ......."

I thought for a moment before I responded.

"But it depends on the situation, I have to take care of myself before I can think about the life and death of others......"

This sentence was like a door suddenly opened, and countless dusty memory fragments poured into my consciousness again.

It also includes another complete stranger, some alien and misplaced past and present lives, persistent or tangled life experiences and joys and sorrows, but I will not be able to digest and organize for a while, and then regain the consciousness of the body.

The darkness vanished, turning into the misty sound of water, and the dissipating mist, and I came back to it. It turns out that I have sailed on the Pearl River.

Two days ago,

As the terrain slowly decreased, we soon walked out of the basin in the mountains and arrived at the capital city of Shaozhou - Qujiang City, which is also the place where Zhang Jiuling, the famous minister of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, retired to old age in his old age, so he is called Qujiang Gong.

On the banks of Qujiang City, it is the scene of thousands of sails and clouds, continuous cangs, trestle boats and bridges, a scene of water and land thoroughfares, and the upper reaches of the Pearl River, the third largest water system in China, have appeared in front of us.

From here, you can take a boat directly through the capital of Lingdong Sandao to Guangzhou, which is located in Quang Namgi, also known as the center of the Southern Dynasty in Gwangdu.

Walking out of the hatch, I breathed in some of the air brought by the oncoming river breeze and felt a lot clearer.

I don't know how many times I've been on a boat, but the first few times there were some unpleasant episodes and accidents, so I was a little nervous.

As the mother river and economic artery of the hinterland of the Southern Dynasties, this water system almost participated in and witnessed, most of the things and changes at the beginning of the establishment of the Southern Dynasties, after hundreds of years of development and operation, has ceased to be the famous Song Jing of the Yuan Dynasty, on the way to Guangzhou, specially inscribed poems to commemorate the barbaric wilderness,

Within tens to hundreds of miles along the coast, there are many human settlements and large fields and trees, and the various traces left by human life directly close to the shallow water on the shore have become turbid tones that are distinct from those in the mainstream waterways.

I hadn't heard of any law and order on the Pearl River for many years, so before I left, I had heard the most I had heard about petty theft, or mixing in with the passengers, and being abducted.

Not to mention that this is a ship of official requisition with privileges,

Although compared with the majesty of the Yellow River, the magnificence of the Yangtze River, and the same large water system that flows out of the sea, the Pearl River is more of a subtle and subtle euphemism, and even the air is full of a certain warm and moist atmosphere.

This made us, who were accustomed to the cold and dryness of the north and the rainy south of the Yangtze River, a little uncomfortable for a while. Although the Lingnan Provinces are known to be free from freezing in all seasons, there are many rainy days, and they come quickly and violently.

therefore

Along the way, the eyes are full of flowing heads, and the ubiquitous rain hats and hats constitute a certain southern style, the difference between the noble and the low is the bamboo wood or silk hat material, and the difference between men and women is just a circle of hanging silk yarn.

Although it was only early spring, the local women dressed quite lightly, swaying with the wind on the river to show their figures, and there were even more people with obvious barbaric customs, directly and boldly using corsets and slit skirts, revealing the outline of the waist and thighs.

However, it is the remnants of the naturalization of slang and liao over the years, coercion and temptation to go out of the mountains and deep rivers and integrate into the life of the Chinese people.

Even when I saw him with my head in my head for the first time, I couldn't help blushing with envy, and then after returning to the cabin, I secretly asked me if I wore it like this, would I be able to show it. I thought about it and gave her a deadline as a consolation.

The voices of the girls could be heard from the upper deck

"Monkey Yay......"

The sound of surprise with his head squatting

"That's a ...... that people are specially fed by free-range feeding."

Yuwen Luoluo slapped her lazily

"I like to take the sheep the most, be careful of being taken advantage of......"

Even holding his head and squatting became a little cheerful, letting go of some kind of suspicion and vigilance, and Yuwen Luoluo together, lying on the high fence, watching the scenery along the way, as if there was always endless freshness.

Even if Luo Luo, who has been repeatedly unable to help it, gives a blow to it, she doesn't care.

On the upper deck, I also saw another lonely man.

"Captain ...... Wind"

I have brought back some of the gods who have not kept him.

"Is this a hometown cowardice......

"It's hard to hide it"

He smiled wryly

"Although I am from Quang Nam, I have almost no impression of my hometown......"

"My family is a soldier from the old military government, and I don't have much to do with the local system, so I left the township with my elders at a very young ......age."

"When I arrived in Guangfu, my father went to many places to ......"

I played a good role as a listener, a little bit of guidance can't help but open the chatterbox, some emotions reveal a lot of chatter, as a descendant of the old soldiers, all kinds of unsatisfactory life experiences,

In the end, he was cautious and frugal in private, spent money to hire professors, taught himself to write, and was easily admitted to the camp school to obtain the qualification of the head of the project, but he could not compete with those who had money in the family or had more qualifications and backgrounds in the same year, and finally were sent to Fujian to be unwilling and depressed.

There are poor mountains and bad waters, the people are fierce, the mountains and the local powerful clans are mixed, almost every year they fight, although they are dressed under the rule of the Southern Dynasty, but all kinds of large and small conflicts are endless all year round, and they may not come back if they are not careful.

As a garrison non-commissioned officer stationed in the interior, the Wind Scroll Banner has also survived several times, but it does not have much credit at all, because this is the jurisdiction of the entire southeast recruitment department, the most chicken ribs and marginal areas, no matter how many barbarians are killed, they can't enter the eyes of the superiors.

It was easy for him to serve the corpse vegetarian position, and he no longer wanted to be motivated, and he seized this opportunity to lead the team to deliver the letter, and brought this group of people out, just to make a change, obviously to me at a critical moment, he pushed him, and he was quite grateful.

As the attaché designated by Mrs. Chen, he no longer has to return to the ministry in Fujian to go to his life, but no matter how hard they try, Mrs. Chen, who is accompanied by them, does not necessarily fancy them, so he can only retreat to the second, but obviously along the way, my needs for them are far lower than what they have to ask for me.

Therefore, after arriving in Guangfu this time, their small group of people will face a confusion as to whether they will be assigned to the security army of the surrounding towns in Guangnan or to be assigned to a certain local military government.

"Actually, it's not difficult, don't say that Mrs. Chen is just a sentence in passing, even I can think of some way......"

Listening to the string song and knowing the elegant meaning, since the other party said this Cheng dù, I can't be indifferent.

"But you're ready, there's no ......"

Then I threw up a topic that I had been planning for a long time.

"What prepares ......"

His eyes lit up, and then he became nervous.

"Nature is a preparation for all kinds of possible turmoil......"

"Please join the army and wait for ......"

"Mrs. Chen was frightened by the attack along the way, but it doesn't just have to do with it......

He was slightly surprised, and said with some caution

"The villain is just a pawn, what can he do?"

"I am an important witness and a participant, but what about you and your brothers......"

I looked at his expression and said

"Isn't it the easiest breakthrough to open......

"......Do you doubt the discipline and sincerity of your subordinates?"

Inadvertently, his title has changed.

"No, no,"

I shook my head.

"You are a very interesting and heartfelt person......"

"But sometimes the threat and pressure doesn't come from an open-fire staff-wielding enemy......"

I paused to give him a cushion

"What if it's from your comrades and superiors......"

"What ......"

Wind Banner's face changed.

"Under the temptation of wealth and future, how many people can stick to their hearts......"

"You may ask yourself, but what about the brothers around you......"

When he went out, he could clearly feel that his heart was already in turmoil, and then he waited for things to fall into place.

If I want to make a difference in the Southern Dynasty, it is not enough to rely on the Han Liangchen brought back, but also to have locals who know the roots and are good at calling to run and act, which can save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Although this wind whirlwind is not the most ideal, it is also the closest and easiest person to get started, and he just happened to send the reason to the door.

The so-called way of controlling people is nothing more than coercion and temptation, coercing me to borrow Mrs. Chen's external power and deliberately keep him, which can be regarded as maintaining my safety, a kind of honor and disgrace.

If you are tempted, I don't have enough resources at hand, so I have to wait until I return to Quang Nam to make plans, and now I can be regarded as planting a seed for him.
